to be honest,
now I'm feeling like a blind man who was asked to explain how exactly an elephant looks like
the blind man was surely more lucky than me, because he could touch & feel the elephant
all i can do is blindly guessing based only on what others said,
which could be only vague and incomplete details
Hi Couch, yes I am using the latest version from the repository zip which i had to download manually via my computer because strangely enough when I add the hxxps://is.gd/anti_social to my file manager in Kodi 17 and select install from zip it appears the directory is empty. The instructions you gave regarding getting the f4mtester to work for the PVR I have done many times from when it was posted after releasing the new version of Potato TV (I follow this thread daily... so i am well aware of what everyone is saying as well as you).
To be 100% certain I even removed Kodi 17 completely last night and installed a fresh copy installed Potato TV and the required apps like f4mtester the simple iptv plugin for services and did everything as you instructed, only thing I was unable to do of course is disable PVR due to me using Kodi 17 which doesnt have that option. Unfortunately I was unable to get f4mtester to work with the PVR, also I was unable to get Plot info for VOD,
as a miserable blind man, I'm not sure which steps you took exactly until you stuck
it would be so helpful, if you could make a video and show it to me, so I could analyze it to find where the issue started
I am completely clueless as to where I am going wrong... unless of course its because I am using Kodi 17.
I dont wish to use Kodi 16 due to this :
(This might not be the news you want to hear, but upgrading to the latest version of Kodi is pretty much necessary if you want to continue to enjoy streaming the way you want to. More and more streaming sites are moving to HTTPS, and older versions of Kodi do not offer HTTPS support. This means that at this point you really have no choice but to upgrade to Kodi 17.1 Krypton. This isn’t something that’s just going to go away, might as well do it now. Don’t sweat it though, upgrading Kodi is not very difficult.)
Soooo... perhaps its time to kick the bucket and upgrade with the rest of us Couch
hahaha!
I have 3 version of kodi running on my iMac
and I always test my addon with all of 'em, before I decide to share it with you
I have my own reason why I hate krypton
yes! I know all issue regarding the old version of python used by older kodi
and as my dad used to tell me:
when there's a will, there's a way! lol
ps. Why cant i install from zip using ur repository in my kodi installation but if I paste it in my web browser on my computer it begins the download just fine.
is.gd is a url shorten service, like goo.gl, bit.ly, tinyurl.com
- it will make an alias for your real url
- it will redirect you to the real url, only if your client allow it
I have 16 GB of ram. I am using a Pc running win 7, I have never had issues before.
16GB??? it's more weird!
as a miserable blind man, I don't know what exactly happened on your system
thus, I would ask you to do a little test:
1. quit kodi
2. open windows file-explorer
3. go to %APPDATA% folder
4. find kodi folder, then rename it with kodi.ori
5. restart kodi
6. re-install my addon (only 1 addon which is mine)
7. run my addon
8. quit kodi
9. repeat steps #2 & #3
10. delete kodifolder
11. rename kodi.ori with kodi
if my addon can work, thus your other addons might conflict with mine
Hi Couch, I disabled the video hardware acceleration and it resolved the issue! Thanks a lot!
congrats mate
